Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThough not always entirely credible, Dead Calm is a nail-biting suspense pic [from the novel by Charles Williams] handsomely produced and inventively directed.
Time Out
pressA classic piece of pared-down genre film-making is lent extra depth by an emotional subtext stressing Kidman's transition from dependent wife to resourceful individual.
Roger Ebert
pressThis is not a gimmick film ... and Kidman and Zane do generate real, palpable hatred in their scenes together.
